This was a gift for my 4yr old scooby-mad son and we built it and played it twice last night - it was a little bit fiddly to assemble but mostly because the 'instructions' are all pictures and no words, and very small graphics, but a bit of common sense and you can work it out - it's more durable than I thought it would be, based on other reviews I had read, and really good fun - the only educational bit is the counting of spaces, but it is fun and games do not last very long so great for a short attention span. it looks really good assembled and I'm sure my son's other characters (toy story, pirates, playmobil etc) are going to find their way into the haunted house for other imaginative play.
Lots of fun for all!
